The Guild of Agricultural Journalists NI Chapter were invited to a breakfast briefing at Hillstown Farm Shop in Randalstown recently to find out more about Bank of Ireland Open Farm Weekend 2016. The event coincides with Northern Ireland Year of Food and Drink 2016 which is being coordinated by Tourism NI, supported by Food NI.

The top prize in the Agricultural Journalism Awards 2014 was awarded to Gavin Grace of Clare Fm radio station for their coverage of the fodder crisis that seriously affected the livelihood of thousands of farmers last year.
